{animal energy}

animals {and all of nature} can teach us so much about awareness.  they can teach us about patience, presence, process, and perfect magic.

animals behave from instinct, not from thought.  i find it comforting when an animal crosses my path.  i feel their energy offers us much insight into a greater cosmic awareness.

so, here are a few friends i made recently :

this was the “little caterpillar that could” – i watched him patiently inch across the street just in time before a big truck came rolling through…

this dog followed me all the way into town one day… and right after i took this foto, i looked up and a huge raven flew over my head.  {talk about magic!}

lots of cattle surround these hills and they have so much room to play!

i played fetch with my neighbour’s dog this weekend – nothin’ like it, right?!

and nothin’ beats coming home to callee… 🙂

this picture is kind of hard to depict, so here is a little story : i was outside having a fire the other night and i heard this shrieking sound from above.  i looked up and saw papa hawk and noticed his flight pattern; it was as if he was just floating on an air pocket above me.  he kept calling… calling and talking and floating… until off in the distance i see mama hawk flying toward him… the met up in the hazy coulds and continued “gliding” through the open sky, until i eventually lost sight of them.

animals are the coolest.  they operate from an intuitive space only.  nature is awareness.  we can learn so much just from watching them.
